Chapter 84 Tower of London

"I hope my coming this time won't disturb your good mood." Mycroft leaned on a cane with one hand, leaned slightly on the cane with his waist slightly, half leaned on the cane, and glanced at the two people in the living room with a polite smile. a table.

"I don't think so, although it's not welcome, anyway, you've already come, so let's get down to business, you're a busy person who just happened to pass by and decided to come up to chat with us, right? "Sherlock raised his eyebrows and said.

"Of course, Sherlock, not everyone can be as clean and leisurely as a 'professional detective'. In addition, I sincerely hope that your recent income can cover your expenses. It's too embarrassing to reach out for help, isn't it?" McCoff said pointedly.

"Wow," Sherlock made a rather exaggerated expression: "What a responsible brother, John, did you see that? I'm about to cry."

Di Renjie spread his hands helplessly. To be honest, in his opinion, the relationship between the two brothers is too awkward. They obviously care about each other, but neither of them wants to show it first, as if whoever speaks first loses average.

Two highly intelligent people, in their closest relationship, act like a pair of children
"Okay, let's get back to business. If you like this kind of bickering, you can come to my office to fight all afternoon." Mycroft smiled at Sherlock, then turned to look at Di Renjie:
"Mr. Watson, the location of the new department has been approved by the cabinet, and I have arranged for people to arrange it, but I think you must want to participate in this process yourself? After all, it will be your office in the future."

"Of course, I'm very happy." Di Renjie said happily. He has been in this world for several months, and he finally has his own office.

"Please come with me, I will show you around." Mycroft turned and walked towards the door.

Di Renjie followed.

Sherlock followed suit.

"What are you going to do?" Mycroft looked at Sherlock with a smile.

"Consultants," Sherlock said emphatically, "consultants are part of the new department too, aren't they?"

At the end, he looked at Di Renjie.

"Of course," Di Renjie nodded with a smile, "We are the best team."

The Tower of London is a castle located in the center of London, which is next to the Thames.To its west is the city of London, the wealth and financial center of the empire, while to its east is the chaotic and dark East End.

This historic castle building seems to be the guard of the rich and aristocratic in the city of London. It guards the wealth on the west side and monitors the movement on the east side.

The main body of the castle was built in 1066 by William the Norman Conqueror to consolidate his power.Its most notable feature is the White Tower in the center of the inner courtyard.

The White Tower is a square stone tower with a height of 27 meters. The middle part of the stone tower is a three-storey fortress building, and there are four round towers at the four corners. Its walls are 4.6 meters thick, and the outer walls are painted white to show its majesty. and authority.

The Tower of London is not a single tower, but an architectural complex composed of multiple towers and walls.It has three defensive walls, the innermost wall surrounding the White Tower, which is a standard Roman wall, but now only ruins remain; the middle wall is surrounded by more than a dozen circular towers, and the enclosed area is the Tower of London There are also some houses in the atrium; the outermost wall is a standard fortress wall, with a fort at each corner.

This castle used to be the residence of the British royal family, but the war function of this place was far greater than its residential function. Therefore, after the royal family's rule was stabilized, subsequent kings moved out of this castle.

After the royal family left here, the identity of the Tower of London has changed again and again.It has served as an armory, a treasury, a mint, an observatory, and a public record office, but more often than not, for the Britons, it is a horrible prison and execution ground, where many nobles, princes, queens, and traitors died. Imprisoned, tried and executed here.

Atrium, White Tower.

The carriage carrying Di Renjie, Sherlock, Mycroft and Your Excellency Pocket Watch stopped outside the gate of the White Tower.

"There are all kinds of ancient weapons and armor stored in the White Tower, as well as some precious documents and artworks. We will remove some of the collections, but we will keep some. After all, after the department is stationed, the security level here is at I'm afraid the whole of London can be ranked." Mycroft led everyone to the tower, introducing as he walked.

"There." Mycroft pointed to a painting hanging in the hall and said, "Do you know who this is? This is Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII. She was accused of adultery and treason." And here she was beheaded. After she died, some say her ghost still wanders here, looking for her severed head."

Of course, such words would not scare Di Renjie, but this painting is indeed well drawn.He stared at the painting, only felt that the woman in the painting had a pair of deep and sad eyes, as if she was telling him something.

"Mycroft actually prepared such a place for us, it sounds full of bad luck." Sherlock leaned close to Di Renjie's ear and said.

[Do you also pay attention to this here? ] Di Renjie glanced at Sherlock with complicated eyes, and tried his best to hold back his complaints.

"It doesn't matter. After all, what we have to do in the future is to get rid of these things that threaten the normal life of ordinary people? If there are really some ghosts haunting here, what is the difference from surrendering?" Di Renjie said with a smile .

"That makes sense," Sherlock thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt right: "It would be great if all the dangerous factors in London came here, and we wouldn't have to hunt around."

Before Sherlock finished speaking, Mycroft rolled his eyes and said in a choked voice: "How did you come up with such a 'good thing'? The investigation is no longer enough for you, is it? I plan to sacrifice it directly to the Holmes family." Get a medal?"

Mycroft said that his younger brother is smart, but he has a big heart.

Sherlock directly ignored the sarcasm in McCoff's words, and grasped a detail: "You mean, there are so many dangerous factors in London, even if the government departments are prepared, they may not be able to resist it?"

"It's hard to say," Mycroft shook his head: "The city is the deep sea of ​​human society, and London has the deepest sea area. Before you touch the bottom of the sea, you will never be able to predict what kind of horror is hidden here. exist."
